[PATCH v5 1/3] mtd: mtdpart: Make ECC stat handling consistent

part_read() and part_read_oob() where counting ECC failures and
bitflips differently. Adjust part_read_oob() to mimic what is done in
part_read(). This is in needed to use ->_read_oob() as a fallback when
when ->_read() is not implemented.

Note that bitflips and ECC failure accounting on MTD partitions is
broken by design, because nothing prevents concurrent accesses to the
underlying master MTD device between the moment we save the stats in a
local variable and the moment master->_read[_oob]() returns. It's not
something that can easily be fixed, so leave it like that for now.
